Yes. TheRedEye, if I can't get whoever-bought-this' email addy, give this to him and let him know I sent it:

On behalf of the Sonic community:

I know you bought it and want to keep it to themselves, but the release of the Sonic Xtreme prototype in digital form is something that will benifit the whole Sonic community.We would pay a lot of money to have this small piece of Sonic History. I know I would. By keeping it private, you strike a huge blow to the dedicated Sonic community. Please keep this in mind as you selfishly keep it dear to yourself, knowing that you are letting many people down. Please reconsider your attempts to never let the world see this, and we will be most grateful.

Well, I really doubt anything you say to him over the internet will stir any kind of good and possitive responce for us... It'll just add to his what seems already inflated Ego... Anyway, if we present some of this stuff to Roger Hector, who we recently got in contact with or other STI staff we've spoken to before, we may get more information about this build of the game... Just a thought... =P

I think anyone who's legitimately paid good money for a rare collectible should very well have the right to selfishly keep it to himself. Unless the money was obtained via donations from the community, nobody 'owes' the community shit. And this is coming from someone who would love to get his hands on a copy of the game. But it's not like the community 'deserves' a copy.
